My thinking is: Will you remember the settings for all eternity?
It's working fine, but Cisco upgrades here have caused the loss
of configuration data. I'm sure the same thing could happen to your
servers. When that happens then the ports aren't going to match each
other.
It's simpler to leave things in their default settings, and then if
they won't play together document the non-default settings everywhere
you can think of.

Would it help to upgrade your server NICs?
